Colcannon is as traditional, as traditional Irish food gets, and for the week that’s in it, when the whole world will be going green in our honour, what better thing to do, than serve up some of the finest! I told my granddad I was making this the other day and no sooner was it out of my mouth than he had burst into song. The dish of course, is the inspiration behind the traditional Irish song by the same name, “Oh weren’t them the happy days when troubles we knew not and our mother made colcannon in the little skillet pot”. This recipe is the one I grew up with, but if you want to experiment, you could also stir in a little bit of wholegrain mustard to add an extra bite to it!
